NBS Dried Bloodspot Destruction Request

Request for Destruction of Newborn Dried Bloodspot Specimen
I request the Vermont Newborn Screening Program and screening laboratory destroy my child’s dried bloodspot specimen once all newborn screening tests are complete and the results have been released. I understand that dried bloodspots are generally only retained for one year, and that by destroying it earlier, it will no longer be available for additional testing. If the baby has more than one specimen those will also be destroyed.
